Obsessed With This Dress: Leighton Meester In Versus

I'm prepared for a serious mutiny on this one, I really am! I know not every one of you dolls could possibly love and fixate and positively obsess over this dress quite like I'm doing, but for the few of you who find a fascinatingly strange beauty in it like I do, this post is for you...

Leighton Meester was at Fashion's Night Out: The Show last night at Lincoln Center, helping kick off the fashion week festivities with a parade of supermodels and 1,500 paying guests (if you weren't lucky enough to be one of them, you can catch the whole thing here on CBS.com). And while her co-star Blake Lively, who was also in attendance, is usually the one we expect to see in super-scandalous dresses, she opted for a demure Marchesa cocktail frock and left the va-va-voom factor to her brunette friend. And my dolls, did she deliver...

This turquoise number is from the fall 2010 Versus collection, and no matter your modesty level, you must admit that this thing has wow factor. The bustier, the caged midsection, the so-sizzling-it-should-be-banned hemline, the sexy straps across the chest, the attention-seeking hue...they all combine to create one insanely fabulous frock that can only be worn by the youngest and most beautifully confident of women. There's something slightly futuristic about it, and yet it has a mod-ish sense of retro appeal at the same time. No matter how many times I looked at this photo, I found myself clicking back again and again, newly fascinated and discovering something I hadn't previously seen each time. And that, my dears, is the power of great fashion--and a starlet with the sheer guts to recognize it and show it off in the public eye.

I'm over the moon for this thing--do you think I'm completely insane? Can you not get to the comments section quickly enough to type "She looks like a stripper!", or are you kinda with me on this one? Are you obsessed, like I am? I know you'll have plenty to say about this one, so let's hear it!
